Thanks Primo!
Much better today after reading the post. I tried to use the same size dollop of cream, added a bit of water (like yesterday), then added a bit of water twice more as I whipped. Lather looked pretty much the same or maybe a bit fluffier, but no residue on the blade when rinsing. I appreciate the encouragement, I'll keep working on it.

The trick, for me, was adding the right amount of water, at the right time. Too much water, too quickly, even though the lather might be able to be saved, is still inferior to adding just a bit of water, at a time, throughout the shave.

I typically add water 7 times to the lather, before touching the lather, to my face.
